These extraordinary tree houses are functional art at its best: recycled materials, unique carvings, wooden hinges and ingenious artistic touches have been incorporated into comfortable surroundings. One house even has a ‘Jacuzzi in the sky’, connected by a walkway. Near Hidcote, Sycamore is located 50km from Giant’s Castle, Drakensberg; see the website for directions.
